Change brightness of pages. Makeup for clowns.

suggest to reduce eyestrain/eyeblinding especially at night, as here for example:

This a solvable through a modern Linux distribution as some include Night Lights and environment adaptability and sometimes darkness forever mode.

So here's what you have.

https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtwebengine-features.html

If you see a mechanism there, we consider. If not, it'll be a non-portable, non-fantastic solution of toying with colors and alphas and maybe transparencies and highlight and lowlight and silly tweaks which will blind.

[textbrowser]

Meanwhile there are inexpensive glasses which dim life for you. Or timely pauses in computing activities. Yah.

[Ygarr]

inexpensive glasses which dim life :'-(

[Ygarr]

non-portable, non-fantastic solution Perhaps it is truly not reasonable to use inside browser logic to implement this feature. ChatGPT said it is better to use javascript (and css) with Qt6 WebEngine unlike in my example (browser on JavaFx..)

[textbrowser]

WebEngine does not include a means of accessing a page's scrollbars. One needs JS for scrolling in that world. Chat is glue-less.

[textbrowser]

GPT believes JS would solve the problem in WebEngine?

[textbrowser]

GPT is wrong with 100% confidence of being correct with itself. Is non-artificially ignorant.

Happy you are?

[Ygarr]

Happy you are? It looks like inverted colors. But. I think i wil be happy in our context anyway. Thank you for your labour

[textbrowser]

Is dark mode. And available in right now. See Settings. There may be a means of offsetting colors but I do not know of it and it requires special focus on the person because dimming is a specialized concept. You wish to dim a page and that page or tab and perhaps others.

[textbrowser]

The thing you have pictured is like a thin sheet of somewhat-transparent paper over the document. So a background color adjustment would not work. You need a mask on the document having an adjustable opacity. I think it can be done. Create a label or frame or a plain widget and allow you to set its opacity from 0.0 to 1.0. I don't know if it gets strange. I played with opacity in Glitch and is interfering with styles although this widget would be separate of the Web engine so perhaps is possible and nice. But then you ask for dimness on URLs and default dims and dimness on tabs.

[textbrowser]

The widget must be set with a z-value greater than the page's z-value and it must resize on resize events and must consider special progress widgets so it must be between those custom widgets and the document. Like a cake. Cake dimming.

[Ygarr]

I also think that enought just everywhere in "night mode" mute slightly. And muting is just change white colors to gray.

Of course, there may be different nuances for different people. Not everyone can be satisfied. But this is just my vision for this problem.

Note: In java code there was solution is: " // Apply brightness reduction effect directly in Java code ColorAdjust colorAdjust = new ColorAdjust(); colorAdjust.setBrightness(-0.3); // Adjust brightness level as needed currentWebView.setEffect(colorAdjust);"

In Qt WebEngine may be here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28183738/transparent-background-in-qwebenginepage Also if make brightness with JavaScript may be this: https://wiki.qt.io/QtWebEngine/ScriptsAndExtensions

[textbrowser]

I know that you can set the background color of a page. QColor includes darker() and lighter(). This is not a good solution. Setting a darker or lighter background isn't guaranteed to succeed because the page can ignore it even after it's been loaded. And the darkness or lightness of a color is applied to the background. The film you see in your picture is applied everywhere. Over elements, over text, over images, over input fields, over buttons, over films, over everything. This implies that there is a slim cake layer obfuscating the beneath layer. Clown makeup.

JS is also not a solution because it's gimmicky.

[textbrowser]

I think my mask idea will work but I will not have it super splendid initially. It will be 50% or so opaque with a View option for all pages. Later opacity configurable and then a setting to disable it at the page but not URL. And maybe a shortcut for instant darkness. See you or not.

[textbrowser]

Maybe this future release will introduce your request. So in 2024 best not procrastinate.

[textbrowser]

OK, not possible with stacked widgets because of complex keyboard and mouse events.

[textbrowser]

suggest to reduce eyestrain/eyeblinding especially at night, as here for example:

Can you interact with this page beyond scroll?

suggest to reduce eyestrain/eyeblinding especially at night, as here for example: ![wbbrowsfx](https://private-user- Can you interact with this page beyond scroll? well, seems yes, rather yes

[textbrowser]

I think I got it. A somewhat transparent widget placed on the Web page having transparent mouse events. I did this elsewhere. Perhaps.

[textbrowser]

Done! Percents in names.

[textbrowser]

[textbrowser]

I'll add an option somewhere to enable this. 25% of black is good?

[textbrowser]

Notice the mouse cursors in the pictures. Transparent for mouse events.

[textbrowser]

Completed? Maybe.

[textbrowser]

Now is done. See ya.
